Gate of the Cross

Chapter 354 New Route

Years are like flying knives, knives urge people to grow old, and then look back on the world.

Life is only a hundred years, and the head is white, but in a flash.

In this way, Xinjie always thought it was very reasonable, but can he really think so after learning the truth of the world?

A spiral maze, a world that repeats every four thousand years, does time really make sense to itself?

Xinjie stood alone on the meteor hill, and the hot summer wind blew across his face, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind him.

Xinjie turned his head and showed a bitter smile:

"Gina, why are you here again? Don't you have to study?"

Gina walked to Xinjie and punched him gently, "You don't want to see me so much?" You told me about the combination of work and rest.

"Yes, that's what I told you."

Xinjie sighed, "You remember it clearly."

"Hmm."

Gina answered, thought for a moment and continued to ask, "I heard from Arieru that you are going back today?"

"Not bad," Xinjie nodded, "I have nothing to do here. I heard that the kingdom has restored the original route. Now I can take a boat to other countries. I'm going to have a look."

Gina walked to Xinjie's side and was silent. After a while, she said, "Your purpose is the heritage of old Torfagia, right?"

Xinjie turned his head doubtfully and looked at Gina beside him.

"Don't look at me. Although I have been in the Bezrem maze for a long time, it doesn't mean that I don't know anything about the outside world. And..." Gina said in a long voice, "Some things I know more than others."

"I always feel that your personality has changed a lot," Xinjie said after a moment of silence.

Gina smiled and said, "Aren't you the same? I remember when we first met, I thought you would have no expression!"

"Maybe."

Xinjie nodded and simply admitted Gina's conjecture, "Maybe I can find something I want there."

"I have also heard about this matter," Gina sat on the grass with Xinjie. "Recently, the relationship between Elbania, an ally across the East China Sea, and Lanzhou has become more and more tense. The goal of Lanzhou is the heritage of the old Tolfagia. 4,000 years ago, the country of Torfagia was turned into ruins in the hammer war, and now that place has become the land of death. It's dangerous there. Do you really want to go?

Gina said with a worried expression on her face.

Xinjie patted her on the shoulder and comforted her:

"Don't worry, with my current strength, unless Rebelius comes back to life, I don't think anyone can hurt me... It is said that there is something called the art of connecting the world in the heritage, so I have to go this trip."

"Do you still want to go back to your own world?"

Gina doesn't seem to be very happy.

Xinjie naturally knew what she was thinking. "Well, the battle is over, my friends and I have successfully prevented the resurrection of Libelius. The Kingdom of France has now embarked on the road of reconstruction, and it makes no point for me to stay here."

Hearing Xinjie talk about his partner, Gina felt a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It doesn't matter. It's over."

Xinjie said this, but he was quite helpless. This is the reincarnation of four thousand years. According to Karen, he has experienced such things thousands of times. It is reasonable that he has not made waves in his heart, but this is not the case.

It's just that even if he still misses what his partners can do without breaking this closed maze, things will continue.

"Maybe this is God's will," Xinjie saw that Gina seemed to be still blaming herself and quickly changed the topic. "It happens that I, who was looking for the art of return, heard rumors of world turmoil on the old route that resumed traffic, as if it had been arranged. I can't give up this opportunity."

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore. Unfortunately, my strength has not recovered and I can't go with you..."

"It's enough for you to support me spiritually."

"hehe."

After a brief silence, Gina suddenly said:

"Nah, Xinjie."

"What's wrong?"

"You must come back alive."

Xinjie looked at Gina unexpectedly, but she didn't expect to say such a thing to herself.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you these words for a long time. It was you who rescued me from the Bezrem maze and gave me hope for life. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have today."

"Gina..."

"Don't talk, listen to me!" Gina seemed to be a little angry. Xinjie had never seen her like this, so she had to shut up.

"Even if you really want to go back to your own world, you must tell me before you go back! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

After saying this, Gina ran away without looking back.

โ€œ......โ€

Looking at Gina's back, Xinjie was silent. After a moment, he shook his head and walked down the meteor hill.

"Hello, Mr. Xinjie!"

"HELLO, Mr. Xinjie!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xinjie!"

When Xinjie came to Qili Village, he saw his villagers say hello to him one after another. Now his external identity is a hero of the Kingdom of France, which has been recognized by the king and Brumel at the same time.

In fact, shortly after leaving the palace, Xinjie went to Astia and secretly met Brumel.

"Listen! Opener! We Astia worked hard to revive the ancient civilizations of the past and make human beings more evolved. Therefore, we must wake up Libelius, who gave wisdom in the past. But it's not easy to wake him up.

In the future, the same thing may happen as 4,000 years ago, and people will be deprived of all their wisdom by God for fear of future wars.

So we will continue to fight. Even if the enemy is the gods, we will not get any future if we don't fight.

This is Brumel's explanation to him. In the face of Brumel, a conspiratorial who has never happened, Xinjie is really lazy to pay attention to it. After knowing the truth of the world, Xinjie's view is just a poor man played by fate.

In the face of his faulty explanation, Xinjie just smiled faintly and could not deny it.

Brumel is also quite uneasy about Xinjie's attitude. It is an indisputable fact that even the gods are surprised by the strength of the opener. He knows that if Xinjie wants to deal with him, he will have no choice, so he can only do his best to please Xinjie.

However, at present, Xinjie seems to have no hostility to him, which makes him relieved.

Taking back his extra thoughts, Xinjie learned from the villagers that the village head was at home, so he walked to the village head's house.

"Oh? Mr. Xinjie is going to go back to France. Won't he stay for a while?

When the village head heard that Xinjie was about to leave, he showed an enthusiastic attitude to retain him.

"No, I've been here for a long time."

Xinjie politely refused the village head's retention, "And I still have something to do when I go back this time."

"It turns out that something is wrong, so there is nothing we can do."

The village head of Qili Village looked regretfully, "During Mr. Xinjie's time in the village, the villagers said that there were much fewer demons nearby, probably scared by Mr. Xinjie's reputation, hehe."

"There is no such exaggeration..."

The reduction of demons near Qili Village is indeed related to Xinjie. During the period when he lived here, he often went to Meteor Hill, so the demons on the road were cleaned up by him. With his current strength, it is easy to deal with these demons, and the nearby demons are not the kind of low-level demons without wisdom. After suffering several losses, they have learned to be obedient. Naturally, the villagers feel that their activities are not as frequent as before.

After saying goodbye to the village head, Xinjie returned to France through the basement portal.

Another year has passed after the war with Libelius.

In the past year, Xinjie has been looking for a way to return to his own world on the one hand, and the key to break the fate of the world on the other hand. Unfortunately, there is no entry from either side. In addition, there has been no news so far from the partners who disappeared in the war with Libelius.

Thinking of this, Xinjie couldn't help raising his hand to look. The original spell had disappeared, and his contact with Saber and Rin Tosaka was also cut off.

"They should go back to the Yingling Hall, right?"

Xinjie thought so and slowly walked back to his home.

"Mr. Xinjie, you are back!"

When I saw Xinjie, the person in charge of the hotel greeted him as soon as possible.

For more than a year, because the hero of the Kingdom of France has lived with him, many people have come here, which has also made the hotel's business more and more prosperous, and has gradually caught up with the momentum of the Adventurer Hotel at the East Gate of France.

"Hmm."

Xinjie nodded and said to him, "I'm going to deliver something to eat."

"No problem, I'll arrange it for you right away!"

"Hey, is that Xinjie just now?"

"It's so rude to call Mr. Xinjie!"

Yes! Yes! Excuse me, is that the one just now Mr. Xinjie? The great hero who saved the Kingdom of France is said to have become the only normal class among the aliens in less than two years. This record has not been broken so far.

"Not only that, there has been no news of the successful promotion of other swordsman teachers in the Swords League, that is to say, Mr. Xinjie is the only swordsman in Fran's city except for the swordsman chief Disol and several other skill mentors."

"That's awesome. I didn't expect us to live with such a person. I can't believe it."

"Don't mention you, people who have lived here for more than a year can't believe it!"
